[Damn. This guy is a tough one to crack. Small talk tends to be a way to foster some level of companionship - and better teamwork, when it counts.

Not that he makes a habit of analyzing everyone he talks to and weighing the value of interactions like that, but, well. With most everyone else, he doesn't need to. The challenge is a good one, though - he hasn't gotten as much of that as he did on the job before he arrived here.

Instead he offers a smile. It's fine to not imagine oneself as a dragon, after all. He didn't exactly have time for games himself as a kid.]

Well, I'm sure you'll make use of it now, instead. Once we see what these creatures are really like, we can come up with a plan. How fast are you in this form?
